Hey there Chickies!! It's Lauren here with this week's sketch challenge. With today being the first day of school, it's been a bit chaotic around here. So, I made things a little easier on myself and borrowed a sketch from Clean&Simple. It's sketch FTL67. It's a classic, clean design that can be interpreted with a million different focal images.

Being in a time crunch, I kept pretty closely to the sketch design.

I used Orange Zest and Spring Rain as my color pallette. I stamped the polka dots with Polk Dot Basics II and I added a subtle background text that you may not initially notice with Text Styles II. The center flower is the Beautiful Blooms dies #1 and I used some Hobby Lobby felt. The sentiment is from Signature Greetings and the patterened paper is Bitty Dot Basics. A little ribbon and a Dark Chocolate button, along with a few orange rhinestones finished off this nice and simple card.

Hope this sketch is simple enough to entice a few more participants this week. If anyone knows how to include a Mr. Linky, please let me know!!

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!! ENJOY YOUR WEEK!!
